Thousands of Riverside County SEIU Local 721 members have already casted their vote to escalate up to and including a strike. More and more members across the county are coming together, gearing up and want to make their voices heard because they know the stakes are too high!
Join us on Friday, May 12th as we recognize the achievements and services you provide every day!
That’s why Riverside County SEIU 721 members are casting their votes from April 19th to May 16th at worksites throughout the County and at the SEIU Local 721 Inland Region office to escalate the fight to win a contract that Raises Up Riverside County!
The condemnation from the County’s frontline workers and community advocates comes at a time Riverside County is proposing reckless cuts at the bargaining table on the back of public employees and at the cost of cuts in services. The mismanagement of public dollars has inhibited Riverside County from prioritizing funding for the urgent needs in the County.
In response to the increasingly dangerous working conditions that have been continually ignored by Riverside County management, Riverside County SEIU 721 members have begun participating in three self-defense classes this week at worksites across the County to equip members with the skills needed to stay safe on the job.
Dozens of you asked for more self-defense trainings after the very successful class at the Local in January, and it’s finally here! Don’t miss the opportunity to attend one of these three classes happening at worksites throughout the County. We refuse to be victims!
On March 21st Riverside County members delivered over 3,000 signed petitions to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to highlight how the County is prioritizing sweetheart consulting contracts (watch video) totaling almost $50 million while they propose reckless cuts at bargaining table on the backs of frontline workers.
The only way we’ll stop the Trump Administration and Congress from throwing America into healthcare chaos is by calling the House of Representatives directly.
On January 24th, the SEIU 721 bargaining team filed an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) against the County for repeatedly withholding critical information needed at the bargaining table to negotiate a contract that Raises Up Riverside County. While we are fighting to raise the standards across the board, the County is hell-bent on a race to the bottom!
Come join President Bob Schoonover and fellow SEIU members in interviewing candidates for endorsement.
